FOOD FOR THOUGHT

In our las

issue we spoke of the “sport of winning with brains.”

Some of you may have been inclined to treat the subject lightly. But

here is something for you to think about—there is no game in the

world that is fought harder, no game in which the competition is so

keen, and no game in which the odds are greater against you than this
game of life that we all vist play. That game is a contest of brains.

In order to make the team, or perhaps to be a captain, a person
must have outstanding ability. The best thing for you to do is to go
into training now. If you build for yourself a good foundation, the
chances are that you will succeed. Do all you can for yourseli now
While you have your youth, and you will never have a day of regret in

your old age, The youth of today is too anxious to face the world;

is too anxious to carn a living. Your time will come soon enough;
don’t worry about that. What you should do is prepare yourseli for
it. The better prepared you are, the easier the task will be.

One of the best ways to prepare yourself is to obtain the best
education possible, Don't be too hasty in leaving school. Some day
you will wish that you were a student again, Start planning now to
go to college. Don’t be fooled by this talk that “a college edu-

cation is the bunk,” and that one must get out in the world. Here are

some figures that are of special interest to seniors and should interest

all of you.
Of all the boys who start school, more than a third drop out without

even reaching the eighth

than half of them graduate, Only about one out of every ten boys

who start school goes on to college. Even of that ten per cent who

enter college, less than a third graduate.
So that, in all, only about twenty-five out of every thousand boys
entering school graduate from college.

You can see for yourself how much better the chances of success

are for that small minority—the two and a half per cent. who go on

and get a full college education, They have something that the other

game in which the greatest number of men could be killed in the most

interesting way was to receive a prize of twenty thousand “bones.”

This prize was high enough to tempt any man, but no one could seem
to win it until one celebrated inventor, Romulius by name, having a
very bad dream the night before, suggested football. Of course, it
wasn't called football then, having been filed in the patent office under
the Latin equivalent for “Kill Em Quick.”

LAUGHTER
It was in Siberia. Winter had settled on the frozen steps and
a heavy snow lay on the hard frozen ground. The stinking prison

camp was even more loathsome than usual. A stench of sweaty
bodies filled the room which, when combined with the smell of dis-
gustingly rotten food, was calculated to nauseate the most hardened

of men,

He felt thru the snow with his hands. Suddenly he felt a fence

thing of the brute in him which long centuries of civilization had

burst of speed he tore at the guard, lounging beside the gate, As the

MILNE COMPLETES MOST SUCCESSFUL SEASON IN
HISTORY OF SCHOOL!

Another basketball season has just been completed which has been
the best Mil

: has ever enjoyed. Out of thirteen games we have tri-
umphed twelve times, being turned back only once after a hard fight
by Albany Aci rlier in the

season, however, we feel that we have a right to be considered on equal

terms with them. Our victories this season have included such teams
as Canajoharie, Albany Academy, Chatham, Troy Country Day, and
the strong quintet of the State College F

Our victorious team v

shmen,

coached this season by Rutherford C.
f ed by Frank Ott, one of State Coleg
varsity men. It is only right that they should receive due credit for
the successful team which they worked hard to develop. Through
their efforts and patience, a team w

ker, who was ¢

built that did credit to the name
of Milne, and which, perhaps, has raised her a little hig!

er in the
esteem of other schools.

It is the writer’s opinion that the students of Milne should not
expect to he represented year in and year out by such a successful
team as that of the past season, A winning combi

ation cannot be
put together every year, and since four of this year’s team are grad-
uating, the prospects for the immediate future look somewhat dimmer.
We sincerely hope however, that the student body will get behind next
ye

r’s team, and give them the same fine support that was accorded this

year's team. The cheer leaders are to be congratulated for their
splendid work this season in helping the school express its spirit
through cheering.

The varsity team this year was made up of Captain Carl Wirshing
and Harriman Sherman, forwards; George Rosbrook, center; William

Sharpe and Burgess Garrison, guards. The boys worked hard all

The following statement and comments on the players were s
ed in an interview with Coach Rutherford C. Baker. Coach Baker
said:

“We started this season with a team of veterans and mostly seniors,
who, with the exception of one or two, had not had much previous
basketball experience. 1 will admit that our prospects did not look so
bright. After a few weeks practice, however, it was evident that the
team would be fast. The schedule was a little ragged in spots, due to
the cancellation of some of the games and the securing of other
